Jonas, i feel like every week i learn so much and i learn so much more than i thought i would have ever been exposed to. When it comes to planning. Um, i want to thank my fellow commissioner for welcoming, welcoming me to this space. This can be an incredibly intimidating space to be a part of, but i feel like every week we have a level of respect for one another and we each add our unique perspective, which is something i really, really appreciate. And one of the things that im going to take with me is just an a bigger perspective of planning, you know, way more than i thought, thought that id ever consider here, um, doing community planning. Um, the community at large, i mean, the participation at Public Comment or via email. You know, i think thats so important to the work we do. And then i also just want to acknowledge the support from my employer. You know, being flexible in allowing me to be on this space on a work day. So with that, i will give it back to president diamond. But im going to miss being up here and i just want to thank everyone for giving me the space. Um thank you, commissioner ruiz. Were going to miss you terribly. Um so disappointed. Although understanding of this news, um, you have brought a valuable perspective. Active and also an incredible, wonderful style. Um, you worked hard to get across your views and hear others, um, and figure out how to get alliance on matters of importance. So i am very sad that you are departing. Um and wish you all the best in, you know, whatever else comes next. Commissioner braun. I just wanted to thank commissioner ruiz for your service on this body. And um, its been really wonderful having you also as my neighbor on the dais this entire time and having, you know, all the more opportunity to discuss, um, matters and also just life in general.
